Study Notes
Exothermic and Endothermic Reactions
- Exothermic reactions release energy to the surroundings.
- Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings.
Exothermic Reactions
- Chemical changes:
- Combustion: CH4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(g)
- Neutralization: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)
- Physical changes:
- Freezing: H2O(l) → H2O(s)
- Condensation: H2O(g) → H2O(l)
- Deposition: H2O(g) → H2O(s)
Endothermic Reactions
- Chemical changes:
- Photosynthesis: 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)
- Thermal decomposition: CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
- Physical changes:
- Melting: H2O(s) → H2O(l)
- Evaporation/boiling: H2O(l) → H2O(g)
- Sublimation: H2O(s) → H2O(g)
Reaction Systems and Surroundings
- In chemical reactions, the temperature measured is often that of the surroundings.
- The system consists of the reactants, while the surroundings include the solvent and everything around the reaction site.
Energy Transfer
- In exothermic reactions, energy is released as heat, increasing the kinetic energy of the surrounding molecules and the temperature.
- In endothermic reactions, energy is absorbed from the surroundings, decreasing the kinetic energy of the surrounding molecules and the temperature.
- Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in chemical bonds.
- Exothermic reactions release energy, resulting in lower potential energy in the products.
- Endothermic reactions absorb energy, resulting in lower potential energy in the reactants.
